On 14 February 2017, Corazon Mining Limited ( CZN or the Company ) announced its intention to offer shareholders the chance to participate in a share purchase plan to subscribe for additional shares in the Company to raise up to $3,000,000 ( Plan ).
The Company’s Board of Directors is now pleased to make that offer to eligible shareholders on the terms and conditions enclosed with this letter.
Shareholders Eligible to Participate in the Plan
The right to participate in the Offer under the Plan is optional and is available exclusively to shareholders who are registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of CZN ( Shares ) at 5:00 pm (WST) on the Record Date of 13 February 2017 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ).
Share Purchase Plan
The Plan entitles Eligible Shareholders in the Company, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase up to $15,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of $0.035 per Share free of brokerage and commission ( Offer ). The issue price represents a 15.4% discount to the average market price of the Company’s shares on ASX during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer (being $0.041).
Details of the Offer are set out in this letter and in the enclosed Terms and Conditions, together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
Current Activities
Details of the Company’s current activities are set out in the announcements made by CZN to the ASX and are available from the ASX or CZN’s website at www.corazon.com.au.
The funds raised under the Plan will be used by the Company primarily for its exploration activities at the Lynn Lake Project in Canada and the Mt Gilmore Project in New South Wales, Australia, as well as for general working capital purposes.
How much can you invest?
Under the Plan, Eligible Shareholders may only acquire a maximum of up to $15,000 worth of Shares under the Plan.
Subscription and Application Procedure
If you would like to participate in the Offer, please follow the application instructions on the enclosed Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please note that the Closing Date of the Offer is 5:00 pm (WST) on 8 March 2017 and you are encouraged to submit your application as soon as possible. The Company advises that it intends to close the Offer as soon as the amount of $3,000,000 has been raised. No late applications will be accepted.
Eligible Shareholders may participate by selecting one of the following Offers to purchase Shares under the Plan:
| Amount | Number of Shares | |
|---|---|---|
| Offer A | $15,000 | 428,571 |
| Offer B | $10,000 | 285,714 |
| Offer C | $5,000 | 142,857 |
| Offer D | $2,000 | 57,142 |
Once an application has been made it cannot be revoked. All valid applications shall be deemed accepted if received before the Closing Date of 5:00 pm (WST) on 8 March 2017.
The maximum investment any shareholder may apply for will remain $15,000 even if a shareholder receives more than one Offer (whether in respect of a joint holding or because the shareholder has more than one holding under a separate account).
Calculation of the Purchase Price and Acceptance of Risk Factors
The purchase price of Shares under the Offer is $0.035, which represents a 15.4% discount to the average market price of the Company’s shares on ASX during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer, being $0.041.
On the trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer, the closing price of the Shares traded on ASX was $0.042. The market price of the Shares in the Company may rise and fall between the date of the Offer and the date that any Shares are allotted to you as a result of your acceptance of this Offer.
By accepting the Offer and applying for Shares under the Plan, each Eligible Shareholder will be acknowledging that, although the purchase price is at a discount to the market price, Shares are a speculative investment and the price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of the Company announcing its intention to make an Offer and the date of issue of Shares under that Offer and that the price and/or value and/or number of the Shares received under the Plan may rise or fall accordingly.
The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to accepting this Offer.
Additional Information and Important Dates
The Offer cannot be transferred and the Directors of the Company reserve the right to reject any application over $15,000. Shares allotted under the Plan will be issued as soon as practicable after the Closing Date of the Offer. Application for quotation on ASX of the new Shares will be made immediately following the issue of those Shares.
The Company reserves the right to close the Plan early and/or scale-back applications in its absolute and sole discretion should the total demand exceed $3,000,000. When determining the amount (if any) by which to scale-back a Plan application, the Company may take into account a number of factors, including the size of an applicant’s shareholding in the Company, the extent to which an applicant has sold or bought additional shares in the Company after the Plan record date and the date on which an application was made with earlier applications given precedence.
If the Company rejects or scales-back an application or purported application, the Company will promptly return to the shareholder the relevant application monies, without interest.
Shortfall Placement
In the event that less than 85,714,285 Shares are applied for, the amount of shortfall of the Plan may be placed at the discretion of the Company’s board. The placement of the shortfall of the Plan (if any) is subject to the Company receiving shareholder approval in accordance with ASX listing Rule 7.1. A notice of meeting to seek this approval will be issued in due course.
